Step 3

Pipe in petals and daisy center. Use ruler and toothpick to mark each petal design area 1/2 in. from edge of cake. Use tip 5 and rose icing to pipe in petal area. Use tip 5 and yellow icing to outline and pipe in center. Pat smooth with finger dipped in cornstarch.

Step 4

Decorate lattice. Use ruler and toothpick to mark the edge of each petal as a guide for lattice lines, 3/8 in. apart. Use tip 3 and rose icing to pipe lattice.

The rosette has the tight, swirling look of a rose, but is achieved in one continuous rotation, rather than with wrapped layers of petals. Single rosettes are also used as candleholders on top of a cupcake.
